Answer a question

In the following code

import Link from "next/link";

export default function IndexPage() {
  const handleClick = (path) => {
    if (path === "/about") {
      console.log("I clicked on the About Page");
    }
    if (path === "/posts") {
      console.log("I clicked on the Posts Page");
    }
  };
  return (
    <div>
      Hello World.{" "}
      <Link onClick={() => handleClick("/about")} href="/about">
        <a>About</a>
      </Link>
      <Link onClick={() => handleClick("/posts")} href="/posts">
        <a>Posts</a>
      </Link>
    </div>
  );

Whenever the about or posts page is clicked, I'd like to console.log that I clicked on the page name. Right now, my current implementation does not console.log anything. What is wrong with my code?

You can move the onClick handler to the <a> tag.

import { useRouter } from "next/router";
import Link from "next/link";

export default function IndexPage() {
  const router = useRouter();

  const handleClick = (e, path) => {
    if (path === "/about") {
      console.log("I clicked on the About Page");
    }
    if (path === "/posts") {
      console.log("I clicked on the Posts Page");
    }
  };
  return (
    <div>
      Hello World.{" "}
      <Link href="/">
        <a onClick={(e) => handleClick(e, "/about")}>About</a>
      </Link>{" "}
      <Link href="/">
        <a onClick={(e) => handleClick(e, "/posts")}>Posts</a>
      </Link>
    </div>
  );
}
